In the afternoon, I went to see Creed alone. It was very beautiful. The rhythm setting and sensory stimulation were good. The only problem was that I didn't feel any interesting core. I came back and pondered over and over again, and suddenly I understood a little bit.
There are essentially two key words in this story: free will and parallel worlds
The world is going to end. Humans are divided into fatalism and parallelism.
From the perspective of the parallelists, the human beings of the past are not the ancestors of human beings in the future, and free will will not disappear inexplicably, so we have to go back and kill the human beings of the past to make room for the human beings in the future.
In the fatalistic view, if you kill the human beings in the past, then the human beings in the future will disappear. So we're going to stop you from doing such ridiculous things.
Parallelists find it inexplicable. We humans are going to be extinct. Is there any difference between early extinction and late extinction? Anyway, I'm going to kill the humans of the past.
The fatalist said, I will not let it. So a creed was created.
The question is, do parallel worlds exist? What would the world look like if the parallelists succeeded?
Judging from the setting of the story, the parallelists are right. Killing the humans of the past will not affect the future.
However, from the perspective of free will, human beings in the past also had free will and hope for survival. The fatalists just need to pass the message on to their past selves, and they will fight the parallelists for the fatalists.
So this is indeed another war between past and future.
In fact, winning or losing is not so important. What matters is which side of your free will is.
The human past in the film wins, so the future perishes. But the past will inevitably develop into the future, and then the parallel and destiny debate will break out, and the past at this time will become the new future. They won in the past and lost in the future.
So, this becomes a classic Sisyphus story.
I can't help but wonder what would have happened if the parallelists had won.
Humans in the past will go extinct, people in the future will come back to the past, and re-exist in a more scientific way, and history will sail in a new direction.
From this perspective, Creed is a traitor to the future and a savior to the past. The reason why humans trap themselves in an eternal cycle is the best choice we make based on free will right now.
A creed is a promise and preservation of the past when the future disappears. It brings the eternal dilemma of mankind, and it is also the place of brilliance.
